Real World Traders- I applaud you...

Hi guys its me, back with another exciting post. To begin, do not let my title fool you. Real world trading is bad and illegal and I do not support it in anyway. But, ever since RuneScape began making changes to the game to prevent it, I have benefitied from it. See, I am a pure freeplayer, and before November 2007, the free game was never updated. Infact, until that time the only f2p update besides holiday events was the stronghold of security. Well, it all began in Nov. 2007, with the grand exchange. Reading bts september, a place like this was mentioned. At the time i never expected it to be like it is, but it sounded cool. The ge is pretty much wal mart in the game. Although it compltely took trading out of the game, it made things a bit more efficient. I can now buy 25k big bones in a matter of minutes for the same price instead of saying buying b bones 450 ea 1million times. A hoo ra to jagex. Next game dec 10, with the most controversial update in rs history. Pvp and wilderness changes -shivers-, along with rev's and gravestones. To futher prevent rwt, jagex got rid of tradional wilderness playerkilling and replaced it with bounty hunter and clan wars. They also got rid of the bone yard -cries- and shrunk the wilderness. Now these updaes where negative, but needed for the game. F2p also got team capes and the much needed duel arena. At this point rs was indifferent with me, Then came a new year, and on the second day, I witnesed the macros leave. Yes, they removed balanced trade. A needed update, and I like that it is in place, although it hinders some previous in game fun. At this point f2p was a little worse then before, but not by much since we gained some features. Next came Feb. and the state of play was released, giving hope where it was needed. Some time passed, and FOG came out, along with new lvl up messages, new interface, and little hp status buttons. Finally, in July rs hd was released to f2p, which one day i hope to enjoy, but here in August is hwrre it gets good. Promised to be added to the game are 4 new pvp features, yes 4. Clan wars changes, army game 0.0, skiller game, and pvp worlds. This gave me a reason to play, so all in all, I benefited. Btw, i porbably missed some updates... Like the rc guild duh', another great update, which came witht he best rs f2p mage gear.....

In other news, rs has been a bit stagnant for me lately since I am mostly waiting for pvp to come out. I kinda have a goal of mining only rune ores to lvl 86, and I have around 300 atm 0.0....

In other news yet again, my school opens up on Tues, and i got my schedule yesterday. Turns out in my school math and english mean nothing, since I do not have them, I have study hall in place. Not really surprising coming from my school though. I also got home ec 2, when I nvr took home ec 1. But all in all, RWT collapsing caused upset, but brought some joy, and soon to be terror from people in pvp combat 0.0

P.S. Bts September, we ned you!

Bummin' & Jammin'

I am sitting at home being bummed out due to the fact that we were supposed to go to the Kid Rock and Lynyrd Skynyrd concert tonight in Camden and the people that we were supposed to go with backed out at the last minute. Now Jimmy and I are sitting around jammin' out to the Kid Rock and Skynyrd cd's that he has. I guess that it's kinda cute when he said that we could have our own concert :) very sweet......but do you know what else would be really sweet? Actually listening to them both play live. I guess the saying you can't always get what you want is a true one. I've been absent from the blog lately due to the fact that I was internetless. Yesterday the comcast cable guy came and hooked up the modem to my laptop and I think that I have been on this dam computer since, well minus a few hours due to sleep. I am going to try to post as often as I can. Well I guess that I will end this and get back to my concert (haha) .....hope that you are all well and wish you best of luck in your upcoming school years, the last for some of you :(

The Big One...

Hi everyone its me (rs name Trans Power). I'd like to begin my post by discussing my latest Runescape goal, 85 mining. This morning at 6:01 a.m. I got to 85 mining. A very nice acheivement, for less then 25,000 people have 85+ mining. I am now officially a rune miner. I started mining at lvl 73 (see below) and I mined over 96,000 iron ores tog et the over 2mil xp needed for 85. How I did it you might ask.... well, as you know I am a pure f2p, i was never a member. I chose to powrmine iron from lvl 73 to 85. To be honest I hated it, so many people come to powermine, its a snarf or be snarfed world. You get skillers, high lvls, idiots, children, everyone. I first chose to mine in world 1 rimmington, thinking it would be all nice and serene. But i was mistaken. Huge crowds, lots of rulebreakers, and some idiot power miner from Runescape name Coolillboi. Ha i beat him to 85 ;). Then at lvl 81, I got so sick of Rimmi, seeing the same people daily, so I decided to go to Al Karid, thinking scorps would take care of skillers. I was wrong, and it was the same mess there. But i stuck with it and got to 85. I started out getting 30k xp a day, and by the last ay I had gotten 150k a day. I also want to mention that mining in rs is messed up. Levels do not mean a thing, I was beaten so many times by people lower them me with fast computers, and yes that got annoying. But i stuck with it and I am happy its over. I persoannly do not reccomend powermining. Your hand will hurt and it kills you slowly, but if you want to try Rimmington or Al Karid. I would reccomend mining coal from the guild, or mining coal and mithril and making bars, since iron kills you and you get some sweet profit. All in all, mining is a very difficult skill, much harder then fishing, cooking, or woodcutting. It requires constant attention, and constant clicking. Not very fun, but 85 is worth the profits....

Well, after 85 and my mini alone party and screenies, I went to mine runite. I wear green d hide legs and top, and do not weild my pick, for I think it makes you mine a bit faster. I hopped to world 127, and went north, to find one rock empty. I mined my first runite, getting it in one hit! Then i hopped around discovering many rocks empty, rune miners must mine a lot. Then i settled in world 149, forund two ores, and started to mine. I was then attacked by a rev ork, but what pker's lacked next to rev's in power, they made up in brains. I tricked the rev and got him stuck behind a tree, and mined my runite. My goal is to mine 1k ores, and make 12mil. I will in time. Word of advice though, rune mining is not as perilous as one might think.

Besides mining in runescape, most playuers have heard the new updates. Not the awesome new guild, but the prmose for more pvp! I am going to prepare for these, all 4 of them (clwars, skiller game, moblising armies, and pvp worlds) I just hope they are for f2p, but I honestly cannot see them not being for all recent replacements for wildy have been. I also think for pvp worlds there will be one safespot, a sorta "wildy centre" where there is a bank etc, and it will bring old fashioned traing back into the game, since there is no GE. These updates are prmised before 2009, making this a great RS year. From Nov 2007 till now has been the best time ever for a pure f2p, not couting the removal of the wilderness. We got more updates then ever! Every month it seemed, GE, clwars/bh, fog, player safety, rc guild, diary, hd, new skill screen, run button, and more. And with these 4 new updates promised and hopefully for f2p, this would cap off a great year!

Now to real life, my school starts in less then a week. I will be in 10th grade, and to be honest I don't really care. I always just kinda float my way through school, and I hope the same can be said for this year. I have a small worry, but I hope it will be nothing to really worry about. Well that was my post, and before i forget, enjoy these timeless images!

Oh Sea!

Seventeen summers ago I was seven months old. It was my first summer, and it was the first time I ever saw the ocean. I was quite the little tot, with my rolling red curls and big brown eyes. There was this instant affection between me and the foamy waves of that huge body of water. As other children next to me screamed and hollered in fear as the waves came gushing towards their little feet, I giggled playfully and wanted more and more of it. I didn't seem scared. I seemed fascinated. Every summer since then [give or take a few where life dealt no opportunity], I have been really fortunate to visit the ocean, stick my feet in the sand, and smell the salty air. In my mind, nothing beats that feeling when I first see the ocean again. I have so many memories of being at the shore every summer. From the afternoon a seagull stole my sandwich right from my hands, to the evenings where I walked the entire boardwalk to the inlet ledge, my mind holds on to these wonderful moments. This past weekend I returned from being on vacation there for two whole weeks. :) It was particularly different than past times for numerous reasons, but the feeling was still the same. I had a time I will always remember as it sure was the best two weeks of my whole summer. :) I was occupied with various activities at all hours of the day and night, so even though I brought my journal along in case I wanted to write, I never did so this time around. Most of what I wrote about in the last blog I published when I went remains the same with this trip so I wouldn't want to utterly repeat myself. I did do a lot of swimming though, and this time I brought two big inner tubes which I took in the ocean. They turned out to be pretty fun, as long as I didn't get stuck in the tube when a wave was about to turn on my head. Otherwise I may not be here right now to write this. xD I went on many walks as well. This time the place we were staying was in front of a large park, filled with trails, fields, and the bay. There was a gorgeous dock that went out quite a ways into the bay and walking down it was amazing, especially when the sun was setting. :) I also took the bus numerous times, which I honestly feel is an attraction ride in itself. Simply meeting all the different, and I mean different, from interests to culture to nationality, people that ride the bus is really interesting and lots of fun. I went to the boardwalk many nights and did a lot of shopping this time, too. I bought two pairs of shoes and after a lot of looking around for the one I liked the most, I bought a really nice tye-dye hooded sweatshirt with any decal I wanted to be printed on it. :D

There were also some other things. :) I went to an Elvis concert, met Spongebob and Patrick while I was away, attended an ice skating show, saw some dolphins and three giant blobby schools of fish, woke up in the night to go midnight madness shopping, admired the Amish, watched the Olympics, joked about this guy on the beach named Erv, had some possible senior pictures, lay in the sun, listened to some Spanish, went walking on the beach in the middle of the night in total darkness with two chocolate cakes, skinned my knee, climbed in the lifeguard stand, learned how to say "hi" using flags, rubbed like a total of 40 pounds of suntan lotion in my skin, wore big sunglasses and pretty outfits, sat in traffic, and then was involved in my first car accident. As you can maybe guess, I had an exciting time. ;] The car accident is true [as is everything else I just named], but thankfully it was not a serious crash of any sort. On our way down to the beach area, once on a certain stretch of highway, people from all states around meet and it just gets very crowded and very slow. Having multiple traffic lights to sit at makes it more congested, too. Well, everyone was sitting in bumper to bumper barely moving traffic when the small sized car behind us rolled into the back of our Jeep Liberty [if you don't know, Liberty's have the big tire on the back of the vehicle]. Suddenly there was a big thump, and I felt as though someone just pushed my back forward. The tire on the back of the Jeep is what took the entire impact, without it the back would have been crunched in! The smaller vehicle that hit the tire, well, the front hood and headlight area was very crunched in, paint was scratched off, the hood was open, and liquid was leaking out. Their vehicle would no longer move and had to be towed away. =O I was shocked and scared at first this whole event even happened. It was a pretty shaky way to start off a vacation, but I was just glad we had that tire in the back and of course, that nobody got hurt or anything.

Thankfully the weather was warm and sunny for the majority of the time I was down at the beach though. There was a thunderstorm or two, one time when everyone had to scramble from the beach. That was pretty exciting. :P I really did enjoy my time there and miss it a whole lot though. :) Now that I am back home, I've been trying to busy myself incredibly. Some stuff in my life back here still seems to be shaky. When I was away, it was like my mind physically could not let me think of anything but the ocean and the sun. I did worry, sometimes when I would try to go asleep, about this or that back at home. I didn't want to let it get to me though. I guess I just want everything to be a certain way, and being the doubtful person I can be, I fear the worst in all my situations. It is terrible though, how I can think up the worst case scenario so much that I begin telling myself it must be happening that way, when really maybe it's not at all. In the least, I can still have hope...

Now with school lingering so close you can feel it, I am beginning to be ready to officially enjoy and gain as much as I can from my final year in high school. I feel slightly more confident about handling all of these upcoming college- related decisions, and really, I just want everything to fall into place this year. I look at the senior year as one of those "we're all in this together" moments. We are a graduating class that grew up together, literally, and now that we are to appear as the most mature students, I have hope we can pull through together by putting any ugly immature aspects behind us and making the best memories we can one last time. :) I know that I wish to look back upon such days with a smile and a laugh, not a sigh of regret for not taking the chances that could have been worth everything. ;]

I am going to conclude my entry here. I have not lost any anticipation for Broken Typos, just like a baby in the womb I am sure it will be born and presented to the public when it is fully ready. ;P I will attach a few pictures below from my vacation as well. Adios!

The Great Adjustment....

Hi guys its me, been awhile since my last post, but here i go again. My title is where i will begin. Lately I have been going to bed later and laer and waking up later and later. But to adjust for school, I am going to put an end to this. Today I am going to stay up from the time i go to sleep to around 10 or 11 at night, then go to sleep. Hopefull I can adjust myself back to school time, and keep it that way. I wouldn't mind waking up at 4 and going to bed at 8. This is going to be tougher then I thought, but I have Buddy's support. In other news I just ripped most of the sleeves off my t-shirts, they get annoying...

RuneScape has been good to me lately. With the release of the runecrafting guild for f2p I had fun playing the mini game and I got myself full robes, which are the best in f2p. Also i got tokens for tele tabs since you cannot but the staff in f2p. a great update and good since few low lvls can enter, so its nice in there. You can also watch the game from the many altars in RuneScape, which is actually kinda cool. Also, since every f2p that neglected to train runecraft in the past wants in the guild, there is no rune or pure ess for sale there, and people have resorted back to standing in east varrock bank yelling buying ess full price. Lucky i bought 3mil in ess beforehand. In other news mining is going great, I am lvl 83 and about 585k till 85, 278k till 84, so thats all good. I also did a test on time it takes to mine runite ore and how it sells and they both did well.RuneScape is going good, but what I really want is the new clan wars updates, guess I will have to keep waiting....

School..ew. I do not want it to come but its inevtiable. I want it to be good, but for some reason I am worried. I am going into 10th grade its not like I am going to a new school or anything, but its hard to describe. I feel weird about it. -sigh- I also want to get myself a laptop computer, top of the line 4 gb of ram, but that seems doubtful at best. This old peice of junk will have to do. Well, for a final note to all you runecrafter wanna be's out there the guild rocks and its not to high so stop complaining, you cannot enter for a reason. Rc mage robes and tele tabs's ftw!

Trust

I would like to base this paragraph off of the idea of trust. Trust is a crucial part of society in human life. Without it, we couldn't do anything really. We need to trust one another to build things, trust one another in business deals, etc. Also, trust is what defines a friendship. If youc annot trust someone they cannot be your friend. In people, trust can be a fragile concept. One slip up and your pegged untrustworthy for life. So I ask everyone to ensure that others can trust you, and to keep it in the vault...

In other news, I have been playing RuneScape a bit more. I got to level 78 mining, and I am halfway to 85 xp wise. Also, I think after mining I may consider training combat a bit, since the upcoming clan wars and pvp updates I want to be ready. I will probably only train defense, magic , and prayer, the surivival skills. Most of those games are about survival, so I need to be able to take hits, bind enemies, and use prayer effectivly. Also, any player moderaters from runescape that may read this, I urge you to refer Buddy Foote. He deserves it from what i've seen, and he will be a great help to your cause.

Finally, I got Steve into some music I like. he was listening to some interesting tunes, but I set him on the right path, and reccomended him some Van Halen tunes, most of which from their album 5150. I like these songs very much and would reccomend them to most people. I also enjoy Cracked rear view from Hootie and the Blowfish, so thats worth a listen. Well, thats all i wanted to say, and please leave any comments about my post.

Beachy Hearts

Imagine it being the middle of the night and there is complete silence. Maybe you are lying in bed even, but you are wide awake. Have you ever started to hear a noise and worry it was someone breaking in or something? Then, as you get worked up, it seems as though the noise is only getting louder. Suddenly, you pause, and realize that what you are hearing is only the most precious and amazing part of your body. Your very own beating heart. ♥

I watch hospital shows on television sometimes, last night in particular, and it is during times like that when I really appreciate and grow fascinated with the human body. Watching an organ transplant is really unimaginable. My favorite part is when the patient is given a heart, let's say, from another body, and once the heart is in place, there is that moment, that first moment, when you get to witness the heart fill up completely red and thump. It is really amazing, if you ask me. I guess the point I am trying to make is that when it is silent during the night, and you are awake, and you hear your heart beat, if you put your palm there for a moment, just a moment, and feel the knowledge of your very being alive, it helps you value what should be most important. Not everything always works out the way our naive minds sometimes hope and pray that it will. Every single person encounters some sort of mishap, minor and major, throughout their life. It is those minor mishaps that can really cause pain to the inexperienced. The kind of pain that simply consumes them entirely. They need to be told that even though their first bike broke, their pet turtle died, the girl they have a crush on doesn't like them back, Grandma is entering the hospital, or they have to move to a new school, everything will be alright. Everything will work itself out. Those that care won't ever leave your side, and those that do never belonged in the first place. You are a breathing individual with a beating heart, you are alive, you need to live, you need to cherish what you have, and focus on what makes you happiest. :) You may disagree, but in the least, thinking like that can bring hope to a dreary day.

Now that I released that from the depths of my unusual mind, I am here writing another blog so soon, as promised, because I'll be leaving early tomorrow morning. I will be on my way to enter the busy lands of sandy beaches, choppy waves, rugged boardwalk, crowded restaurants, and hotels with no vacancy signs. :D I'll be laying in the warm sand, thinking of nothing that bothers me, hearing the buzz of family chatter, and wondering when the cute little ice cream truck siren will return. It will hopefully be a nice escape for me, just some time to be away and feel excited over the different sights, sounds, and of course, the amazing smells down there. ;] I'm going to miss all of my friends a lot though. I am really excited to go, I can't believe it is tomorrow already, and that I will be there longer than I have ever gone for before. I plan to take plenty of pictures and will have a journal nearby for any possible blog excerpts. ;] I hope the best to come of Broken Typos, too! I guess this will be the end here. ^^ Wouldn't want to drag this out and bore any potential reader. So until next time, have a really good two weeks! :) ♥
